Item
2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On
October 28, 2005, SCANA Corporation (the Company) issued the press release
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The press release discloses a non-GAAP measure,
GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations, which in 2005 excludes from net
income the effect of sales of certain investments and in 2004 excludes the
effect of an impairment charge and a change related to pending litigation. The
Company’s management believes that GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations
provides a meaningful representation of the Company’s fundamental earnings power
and can aid in performing period-over-period financial analysis and comparison
with peer group data. In management’s opinion, GAAP-adjusted net earnings from
operations is a useful indicator of the financial results of the Company’s
primary businesses. This measure is also a basis for management’s provision of
earnings guidance and growth projections, and it is used by management in making
resource allocation and other budgetary and operational decisions. This non-GAAP
performance measure is not intended to replace the GAAP measure of net earnings,
but is offered as a supplement to it.
